![]() ![]() ![]() The man Jack is persuaded to leave the graveyard by Silas, a being who is neither dead nor living. Owens who died without children takes the boy to her plump bosom promising to be his parent. The Owenses are warned by a pale ghost (the boy's mother who is going to be buried in another graveyard) that the man rattling the graveyard gates has come to kill her son. ![]() Owens, a ghost who has been living there with her husband for hundreds of years now after their burial here. He follows his scent to the graveyard on the hilltop. He had slain the parents and the eldest daughter and that leaves only the toddler. The man Jack reached that big storeyed house to kill the whole family. If you liked the movie 'Coco', then this won't disappoint you in the least. Sure there are parallels, but Gaiman successfully manoeuvres the horrors of the graveyard to something protective and homely. Apart from the characters, what attracted me most was the originality by which the idea was conceived. ![]()
